RuffalO Bills Romance.

Harry Beaconsfeld, of Leavenworth, Kan, talking of William Cody's early life, said to reporter of the San Fran cisco Examiner:
 When I knew Buffalo Bill first, in 1864, he was wild and woolly and un- promising. We speak of the wild and woolly West sometimes with vein of humor in our remark, as though we enjoyed it. We'll of all the hard-look- ing citizens ever set eyes on young Cody was the worst. The school ma'ams who used to come out from Illinois and Ohio about that time used to refer to him as Sweet William. He wore his black hair very long, his pants in his boots, a shambling gait and an unkempt air generally that marked him as the most unpromising youth in that section of the rowdy West. He had no pride about him, and it did not appear that he wou ever amount to anyth ng.
 About this time he fell in love with a
 
 posed to her. Everybody but Bill knew his fate long beforehand. They knew he was destined to get floored, but Bill had no inkling of it. When he received negative reply he was utterly crushed, and remained so for days. He was per fectly collapsed and lifeless. But after week he began to brace up. The rough frontiersman had ridiculed his grammar and poked fun at him on every thing. Bill bought some books and began to post up. He was soon there after iii the field as scout, and three years after, when he came back, he was the most changed man ever saw. His defeat had proved his victory. The girl was his mascot Had it not been for her I am as confident as can be of anything in the world he would never have amounted to anything, and would never have been heard of.

The Origin of Kissing.

There is Scandinavian tradition to the effect that kissing was first intro duced into England by Rowena, the beautiful daughter of Hcngist. Again in Cromwelrs time, when the banished Cavcndish visited French nobl eman at his own chateau, the mistress of the house, at the head of her maidens, thus greeted him: "Forasmuch as ye be an Englishman, whose custom it is in your country to kiss all the ladies and gentle women without offensc, and although it be not so here in this realm, yet will l be so bold as to kiss you, and so shall all my maidens.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Silence is tho sanctuiry of prudence
 From the lowest depth there is path to the loftiest height.
 What is law without justice? What is justice without mercy?
 Genius without ambition is as useless as cannon ball without powder.
 To succeed in life requires equal parts of ambition, ability and enterprise.
 If from any cause you feel irritable, try the harder to do little pleasant thingss r You must love your work and not be siooking oyer the edge of it for the play bto begin.-s
 Do not keep your good manners fo, company but be equally polite at home and abroad.
 Put this restriction on your pleasures: Be cautious that they injure no being which has life.
 Let all men, whether successful or un- successful, whether they triumph or not, let them do their duty and rest satis fed.
 The strongest men are the most ten der-hearted. The coolest and sweetest waters flow from under the greatest rock.
 Nothing does so much honor to { woman as her patience, and nothing does her so little as the patience of her hus band.
 Consider how much more you ofte1 suffer from your anger and grief, thar from those very things for which yo, are angry and grievcd.

A Mexican Education.

The Mexican child of wealthy parents begins his education, at the age of 5 years, by the requirement of the essential art of riding. The animal he first be- strides is burro, as the small donkey, the common beast of burden of the coun- try, is called These little beasts are in- fnitely patient and gentle, and so low of stature that tumble from them is attended with no serious consequences. From the burro, the boy graduates in a year or two to the back of pony and thenceforward much of his out door life, particularly if he lives in the country, is passed on the back of a horse. By the age of 12 he has begun to wear the sombrero ha) heavily trimmed with silver braid, the wide slashed pantaloons, with rows of silver ornaments down at the side, and the great silver mounted spurs that denote his rank as caballero or gentleman who goes horseback.
 Up to this latter age, his education in letters has been obtained from his tutor, who is usually the parish priest, or some student studying for the priesthood, and his requirements arc confined to reading and writing. If musically inclined. he has learned to tinkle guitar and to sing few Spanish songs. He has prob ably began to"fence and handle the pistol. He is now sent to some one of the Mexican national schools, the mili- tary academy at Chapultepec, or School of Mines in the City of Mexico or to some educational institution of Europe or the United States, and his child-lifc is at an end. On his return home at the age of from 1G to IS years, unless he joins the army, begins the serious duties of life by entering some business house, doctors or lawyers office, or assists his father in the management of the hacienda or country estate. - Sunshine.

\ Canadian View.

ssThe negotiations, we fear, will prove bar ren. The rights of Great Britain under the treaty of 1918 do not require a commission for They are explicit, clear, un- mistakable. The headlands question is: in deed, an open one, and the three-mile limit might be defined; but outside these two points there is nothing of vagueness in regard to our fishery rights. The Canadian Commissioner should be alive to this aspect of the case. He should appreciate the informal character of the conference, the lack of authority on the part of the American representatives, the clear rights of Great Britain under the treaty of ISIS, and he ought to recognize that the United States has everything to gain and nothing to lose from the deliberations. It is much, indeed, as if set up claim to mans property, consistently proclaimed his right to it, and then suggesting the naming of third party to ascertain how much of his claim should be allowed" Montreal Gazfte.
